Hej, we have a bunch of customers over here that are allowed to write their own exim filters, and as you allready may have guessed that causes lots of troubles. I am especially annoyed that syntax errors in their filters result in delivery defers, as their mails end up in my incoming server queues until they get bounced after 4 days. I've searched for a way to turn these errors into "permanent" ones - so the mails get bounced quickly - but I didn't came to a solution. Am I missing something, or is this just not possible? (for not-too-weird values of "possible")
It would also be okay if I could verify exim filters at SMTP time, (so others queue these mails for me ;o) but running arbitrary exim filters during address verification (or after data) doesn't seem to be a very reasonable thing. I'm looking for a quick solution until I've implemented an exim filter syntax check into the provisioning system (maybe tomorrow I'll find the time...) and until the faulty filters got corrected, (which may take even more time) but a more general approached may be worthwile. How about yet another "specific error" in retry rules? As this is a *routing* error, is this possible at all?
